I am also maltese but live in England so know what the weather in Malta is like, but the Far East is absolutely ok in January we went to the Far East on 15 February 2000 and we done Thailand and Malaysia it was really hot and lovely so hope you enjoy your holiday.

We cruised the western & eastern Caribbean on the Enchantment Of The Seas on 17th Jan. The weather was glorious, definitely summer clothes. We thought it was the perfect time of year. Royal Caribbean are the best, good choice you'll love it. Enjoy your holiday. J .
